I also remember phone booths.The first ones I remember were only 10 cents.Then they went up to 25 cents.The last time I actually used a pay phone was about 10 years ago.They were 50 cents then,but it still cost less than the cell phone I had at the time.I was on a pay as you go plan that charged me 25 cents per minute for daytime minutes so using the cell phone would have cost me a lot more on that call.

Remember when you could make a phone call from a telephone booth for 25 cents. It is amazing how technology have progressed. Makes you say WOW!

I remember the telephone booths being on corners in most towns.  Superman also used them them...Clark Kent used them to change into Superman!

Yes, it is so crazy that today you get charged money by minutes on pay phone.  What a rip off.  Glad we have cell phone lol.
